Incredible recount of the true

This should be essential viewing for all Americans. (whoops.. am I guilty of socialist propaganda?) I’d also recommend Googling “Tommy Douglas”, who was mentioned in the movie (Kiefer Sutherland’s grand-pappy by the way).
It’s not too late for change. Hi Rebecca :^)

Thank you, Michael Moore. My wife and I are moving to Canada and for good reason. I hope everyone will watch this, ask their neighbors to watch this, and someday maybe America really will be what it says it is. Meanwhile, I hope all the people in this film stayed well after their Cuba visit.

Damm you Michael!! i spent the last 50 yrs of my life believing in the b.s, now w 1 movie, and 1 HR,you’ve
made me question(and rightly so)the PTB !!
THANK YOU
.. btw- how about an update on the cuban guests???

myself. do you actually ever even listen to yourself? he eviscerates “them” and your brain concludes that he works for “them”? put down the glue bag.

People usually ask for their problem’s solutions but they don’t make any effort to produce those solutions. They have to participated in their life’s good development. Michael Moore gives us facts to compared where we are? We have to be part of our selves lives and our family’s future now, without waiting for something our governors won’t give us if we don’t ask for it.

Michael, I want to thank you for producing this movie. I am a nursing student at Ulster County Community College, I was asked to watch this as an assignment. I am so very glad I was. This should be a standard assignment in all high school’s in America maybe the children will help our future be brighter because the American’s now will not fight our government because they keep us week and dominated.
So much for the “freedom” all of our military are fighting to defend.

To be honest.. I do ask myself daily what is wrong with the Americans. Why they feel better as others. Why you always talk bad about other countries and how come there are so less people with common sense.
I don’t think many people will wake up after seeing this (the biggest part will say it’s not of their concern and the other part is surely praying)… but I do wonder why this nation finds it normal to (ab)use other countries for their health care. They don’t seem to feel that guilty to let them pay their bills. I also wonder how many are truly grateful after they are cured (or saved).
You can call it socialism.. I prefer to call it humanity! Strange an insurance company called Humana doesn’t know that.
A democracy is no democracy if the government doesn’t listen to the people!

This is a great movie, but did it change anything?! The system is the same, unfortunately. Country which believes that it is the best one can take care of its own citizens. What a shame!

A fantastic, eye-opener of a documentary. There were times when I couldn’t help but cry, even felt physically nauseous. A healthcare system structured around profit is without a doubt dysfunctional, dangerous and immoral. ‘Socialized’ healthcare (seriously, whatever) works in other countries and i can attest to that, having lived all over the world, including the US, France, and Great Britain and having family all over as well. The American system was by the far the most dysfunctional and exclusionary system I have ever seen in the first world. The truth is, if most people really knew the state of it and the possibilities as shown in other countries, they would rise up and demand it, and I mean rise up. Most people want it, and in other first world countries like England and France they wouldn’t take that kind of sh*t from the government or wealthy as you do in America. You are told to roll over and take it, and be thankful for it, and swallow the rhetoric and propaganda. Most people want it, most people need it, and most people can have it by exercising your revolutionary spirit and demanding it, taking it. This is what birthed democracy around the world, no-one will give it to you. Put down your tea bags, your birth certificate posters and your ravings about death panels and join the rest of the first world. You’re not wrong in wanting this, they are wrong in denying you. I want my American brothers and sisters to have this as I and my loved ones do, and hundreds of millions of others do. They have absolutely no right, no right whatsoever, to continue this way. Demand the same unquestioning access and implementation of this as you demanded free public libraries, the fire service, and other hallmarks of a civilized society–demand this for the most important issue of all: your physical health, wellbeing and very life. Anything less is totally unacceptable. Don’t believe the bullsh*t propaganda that’s fed to you, in the hopes that your ignorance or xenophobia will prevent you from going through with it. It is not backwards to do it this way, it is backwards to do it the way it is currently done in America. As soon as you understand that everyone has a fundamental right to healthcare, and that using the profit motive as the guiding motivator and principle of taking care of your fellow human’s health is disgusting and wrong, you can start having what other countries do have. Good science and compassion is at the root of healthcare, it is also two of the most important components of modern life. Don’t let dysfunctional rhetoric and brainwashing propaganda cloud your reason on this issue. Both intellectually and morally, they can be shown to be dead wrong. Don’t take it. Don’t roll over.

Yes, trying to be objective – seems like some of the points make sense, so I’d be almost ready for a hypothetical constructive discussion, since I’ve experienced both free healthcare system growing up in the USSR, and the insurance based system in the US for the last 20 years… if not for the “exemplary” Cuban healthcare at the end of the movie. That episode alone just trashed any shred of credibility that Mr. Moore could have remaining in the eyes of any objective observer. Had he admitted that this level of treatment was provided because an American was filming a movie there, that would be borderline acceptable, but to have the audacity to say with a straight face that average Cubans are getting the same kind of care – that’s over the top.

So, no, can’t be objective, since I couldn’t take any arguments presented in the movie at face value. Can anybody point to a link where one could find intelligent discussion of this issue, not a fiction movie like this?

great film. keep them coming.

If Canadian health care is so good, then why do they all come here for care? Just go to the Palm Springs area and ask any local doctor how many Canadians they see during the winter months because Canadians can not get it in Canada. As far as Cuba, they can’t even get toilet people. Don’t let a propagandist like Moore fool you. He likes to sugar coat the things he likes, but if push came to shove, he would definitely have his heart surgery here instead of Canada.

I’ll never understand (most) of you americans. Your nation has spent a lot of time policing the world but injustices in your own nation are rife! It may well only be those on American Right who are complete nutters but here in Europe the only parties with policies similar to the Republicans are the neo nazis and fascist groups! Again I say, what a strange and baffling nation…

Most hate and confusion is generated by only a several individuals with power. 

middle cast is not $8000 dollars a month!

i know many cubans that have arrived recently, they all laughed when i asked them about the health care.  There is no medicine in cuba.  Gimme a break micheal, cuba, really?

I was in tears by the end of this program. Saddend by what is really going on out there. How can we be so blinded by this? Why have the American people put up with this? Why havent we taken a stand? What happend to the people of the goverment, wall street,  big corperate business, Do they have a heart or morals, what is wrong with them? We need to stop the GREED> WE MUST TAKE A STAND

Oh Yah, you might be interested to know that I also found out that the emerg doctor was paid a little over $300 for seeing our family member and so the hospital must have been paid over $700.  Wow!  What the heck did the hospital do except supply general antibacterial medicine, a building and room to see the patient and one person to take down the insurance info
AN EDUCATED, HEALTHY POPULATION IS EASIER TO CONTROL.  HMMMM, THIS DOES SOUND LIKE A LITTLE COMMON SENSE.
COME ON……PEOPLE, YOU ARE BEING DUPED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.   I am encouraged by the handful of people in New York right now that are picketing the Wall Street greedies.  Just think what happened near the end of the Vietnam War.  Thousands of people marched on Washington to stop the war.  It worked and put enough pressure on the president and his cronies to go to the bargaining table in France to end the war.
It can be done for health care too.  People just need to stand up for their rights. 

GOD BLESS YOU MICHEAL MOORE

The guy who succeed to get is girl operation cause he talked about the next film of Michael Moore. Wow for that only, it was all worth it.  

Ive decided to think about moving to france thanks to this video. America sucks.

When there is a will there is a way. My child was sick and the first specialist we saw, may I add who was ALSO a surgeon, recommended we take out the colon when the child has been sick for only 4 months. We had good insurance, insurance would pay for most of it. Thanks to finding blogs of people with the same illness we found changing diet and taking a few supplements healed the child. Had we been without good insurance, not sure ANYONE would have suggested we mutilate the child for life. Had we been the type to do whatever the doctor said, and not been able to understand how to search for alternatives, our wonderful insurance would have been the clincher in doctors permanently physically harming our child. Having “good” healthcare IS deceiving. And is certainly not the answer to having people cared for properly. Orthodox medicine does not recognize the effect diet and supplements, the national ”colon” foundation stated at that time that “diet just has not been proven to have an effect on colon disease.” Seeeriously? How dumb do they think we are? So what the national “colon” foundation says is…what goes through your digestive tract has NOTHING to do with how the digetive tract functions. They state, we have not studied this enough NOR do we plan to study it. So you’d better ask your neighbor what he did with diet THAT WORKED, because WE PROMISE you will NEVER find it HERE! 

Sure everyone is not entitled to “free” health care by others but this is not a question of entitlement; it is a question of integrity and responsibility as a human being. You may not believe that everyone has the right to a “free” education but I’m sure that either you or the majority of your friends would not be here without public school. I don’t care if you use this forum to put yourself on some kind of pedestal because no one will see this. Some of the greatest innovators and entrepreneurs needed public education and didn’t have the privilege of attending a private school. Imagine if they were not “entitled” to a “free” education. I know you wouldn’t want everyone to be as healthy as you and that makes you feel “special” but it is inhumane to not care about others. How many of our great inventors and historical icons (democratic, republican, independent, etc) have we killed off because they couldn’t afford to live to become what they could have been? I think health care should be universal not because of a partisan ideology (my party doesn’t teach me how to think)  but because it would be beneficial to all parties.

To say that “not everyone is entitled” ..shows enough hate and inhumanity on the sentence alone, to let everyone be without health care just for one ridiculous statement as that one, ,,This Documentary is Great and should be of primary interest.

America is a wonderful country, along with its people, but I would hate to be poor there.   Here in the UK, I fear we are heading down the way of the American model of  health care with our new Health and Social Bill threatening to dismantle the NHS as we know it. It is privatisation by the back door. You only have to look at what’s happened in Surrey, with Virgin now largely running healthcare services. With the profit motive being a principle driver, how much longer will services be ‘free at the point of delivery’ I wonder?

Dude there’s no point arguing with idiots, they just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience; and this richbatra guy seems to be the idiot of idiots.

The end of this movie made me cry. This is pathetic. Here we sit, denouncing socialism, while the French and English and Canadians are looking at us like we’re idiots. For every person who denounces equal access to healthcare, congratulations..the health insurance companies didn’t even need to pay you off. If these things were right, they wouldn’t need the BIGGEST LOBBY IN THE US to keep things status quo. One day, I hope, we will have this period in history books as America’s dark ages..seduced by corporate big wigs into letting them profit billions at the expense of the rest of us. Let me ask you this, what is the point of letting one man have 1 billion dollars? What the hell can he buy that is better than giving 100,000 people the ability to live another day? Shame on us.

He could work more than 1 job. Many people do it. My mom worked 3 jobs for a while to support my siblings and I. You do what you do to support your family, including sacrifice your own freedom.
